Newsoms are preggers: Will S.F. become baby friendly?

Yipee! San Francisco parents rejoice! A baby Newsom is on the way! Does this mean the mayor will begin to put children in this city first?

San Francisco has fewer kids than just about any city in the country (though in several months we’ll have one more head to count). Why so few children? The homes are unaffordable–so most people flee to the surrounding burbs where they can get more than two bedrooms. S.F.’s public schools are improving but they’re still wildly uneven. More kids go to private school here than in any other major city. And those private schools are pricey! Parks and Rec have definitely rebuilt many of the neighborhood parks but the city department also just announced that they’re required to cut $11.4 million.

Could a baby-crazed mayor help our city focus on its children? Will Newsom be more inclined to make our city welcoming to families? (Or will our mayor be too focused on his run for governor to make a difference?)
